Maybe I missed the point. Is it a book about karma? I am not sure. With that said, it really is not something I will be recommending. There is nothing redeeming about this book. I would not put my reputation on the line for this book. If you like it, please tell me why. With most books I do not like, I really do feel bad about it. I understand the hard work that authors and illustrators put into their work. I am a writer […]
Courage!
Brave Enough for Two (a Hoot and Olive book) has allusions to Winnie the Pooh. It is a soft, classically toned story written and illustrated by Jonathan D. Voss. This time, instead of Christopher Robin and Pooh, we have Olive and Hoot. Olive is the type of girl who likes adventures in books and Hoot is the type of stuffed owl who likes the “go out and have” adventures. And just like Pooh Bear and Christopher Robin, they go out into the world and have […]
The Baby-Sitters Club in Graphic Novel
I do not remember reading the original Babysitters Club by Ann Martin. I was aware of them (my sister had the series) but it was never on my reading pile. I would later read Martin and enjoy her work immensely. Therefore, I was excited to see that Raina Telgemeier had adapted the Babysitters Club into a graphic novel series. Unfortunately, the first one I read seemed dated. It was very much still in the voice of the original printing date. It was not unpleasant, but […]
Lighthouse Family round 8
I enjoy the work of Cynthia Rylant. Her quirky characters and fun language allow her to write for multiple ages. I knew of, but had not read a lot of her Lighthouse Family series. I picked up The Bear (the eighth book) the other day and finally read it last night. First, if you are going to read this book, read the others first. I felt a few pieces of information were missing. While there was a recap of who Pandora, Seabold and their family […]
My Papa is a Princess and So much More
My Papa is a Princess is a slightly preaching book. After all, the cover is after all pink, with a stereotypical looking top-half of a male in a crown. At other times it is more straight forward and less in your face. They never say inside the book that Papa is a princess, but it is obvious due to the cover/title. But they mention when he is a hairdresser, firefighter, race car driver, etc. The book mostly is a dad having father and daughter time […]
I’m Sad…. and that’s okay
Michael Ian Black has created a new book in his “I am” series. I’m Sad is about being sad. But not just about being sad. It is the bad and good about being sad. Flamingo is sad and his two friends (a little girl and a potato) try to cheer him up. Yet, they also talk about that maybe it is okay to be sad sometimes, too. They also let Flamingo know that he is not alone, that everyone feels sad. Even astronauts and potatoes. […]
